"O wise men, riddle me this: what if the dream come true?What if the dream come true? and if millions unborn shall dwellIn the house that I shaped in my heart, the noble house of my thought?Lord, I have staked my soul, I have staked the lives of my kinOn the truth of Thy dreadful word. Do not remember my failures,But remember this my faithAnd so I speak.Yea, ere my hot youth pass, I speak to my people and say:Ye shall be foolish as I; ye shall scatter, not save;Ye shall venture your all, lest ye lose what is more than all;Ye shall call for a miracle, taking Christ at His word.And for this I will answer, O people, answer here and hereafter,O people that I have loved, shall we not answer together?"
